I have a sanyo camera 7.1 mega pink and everytime i try and take a picture my screen goes black and shuts off without the camera piece going back in! I have almost the same problem except when I take a picture and go into the mode to look at them it is completely black. My camera was doing great and then all of a sudden it did this when I had just been taking pictures with it. Any idea what to do?

In the first case, if the camera turns off by itself with lens not retracting, try fresh alkaline battery. If that does not work, then the ribbon cable from battery charger to mainboard inside the camera is probably causing the problem.An inter ...

Error I jusht bought a FujiFilm FinePix S2 Pro and it has been working great. But I just recently put it on my tripod and turned on the auto-timer and i clicked the shutter and waited for the picture to be taken. When I went back over, the info screen on the top read "Err" and the picture was not recorded and now that happens everytime I try to take a picture and so.. I can't take pictures with that camera anymore. Any suggestions?

Agreed... Before anybody talks you into having a heartattack I would first check the following: Batteries, Lens settings (Aperture) and last but not least... The manual. Descriptions for all S2 error messages are in back. ...

Lcd blurred I have a canon power shot a80 and when i turn it on and try to take a picture, on the LCD display i see a mixture of colour which is not even letting me see the image of the picture i would like to take. If i look through the lens and take the image, i am still able to view the picture I had taken if i set the camera on the view pictures.

But when I try to take a picture the lcd displays a black a screen and the picture that it takes is just a black box, flash illlumintor everything else seems to work, except the ability to take a picture, lens moves in and out, but picture is always black, any idea, is the ccd shot

Maybe the shutter got wet and sticky. You can try look into the lens then press shutter button to take picture. If you don’t see the movement inside the hole, the shutter doesn’t open, it will take black picture. ...

When i turn the camera to take a photo, no image appears in the LCD or the eyepiece. this just happened all the sudden. I am able to view pictures that I've already taken in the LCD and the LCD will also give me the menus, picture count, everything that you would expect to see except the image that you want to take a picture of.
i tried to take a picture, but the screen was just black as well.
any and all help will be appreciated!

The Display button manually turns the LCD display on or off to save batteries. If you accidentally had turned the LCD off, It should only take one press of the button to turn it back on and leave it that way. As such, it's not you but the camera. ...

I have a sony mpeg movie Vx dsc-p32 and I have 2 Memory sticks, one 64 MB and the other a 256 MB and about every third time you we turn the camera on the lcd has a message of No memory stick found - I've tried blowing in the slot where the memory stick goes and nothing happens, but like a said every 3 times or so you turn it on it happens. when it happens we usually let it sit for a few minutes and then we turn it back on and its fine. this sucks when you want to take a picture of the memory

Taking pictures I have loved using my camera until it stopped being able to take pictures. Whenever I try to take a picture, the red light goes on a few times but the camera never flashes, clicks, or takes the picture. I can still look at my pictures but I can't take them. What is wrong and what should I do?

This could be due to a jammed lens element preventing the camera from focusing properly. When you push the button the camera attempts to focus the image before it takes the picture. If the focus component in the lens is not moving properly it cannot ...

I'm not sure what is relevant and what isn't but...
Two days ago I tried taking a picture on my timer and all of them came out blurry. I wasn't sure why this was so I started poking around on the camera and decided to reset all factory settings.
Then that evening I tried to upload my pictures to my computer as usual. The software (Picasa) locked up. I tried taking the camera out of the cradle and turning it on but it wouldn't turn on. I rebooted my computer and tried turing the camera on

Sometimes a camera software upgrade will help, but it is hard to find software online. I first would look on manufacture's website to see if there is any driver updates you can download to your pc, then do the same with picasa software. Also make sur ...

I am having a problem with my camera. It works in the sense that it turns on and takes pictures. However, the both the digital lcd display and normal finder display remain black, even after removing the lens cap. I let a friend borrow it a little while ago and I suspect they may have changed some settings, but I'm not sure what to look for to fix it. When it takes pictures, they come out looking very distorted and strange. But, it does take pictures, the flash goes off and a picture records. c

I was working with taran-2005. I paid $20 and got good advice. When I finished gooiing through all his tricks to make my zoom lens come out and my camera stay on I was able to do that. However, after went through his tricks and tried to take a picture I discovered another problem. When I tried gto take a picture the LCD. said no card available. I spent another six bucks to see if I could get an Email answer to that problem. But somebody voided it. So here I am with a camera that does not work.

The camera isn't detecting the memory card, and the internal memory is probably full, so it's giving that message. Do you have a card in it? If not, get one and put it in the memory slot (they will only go one way, so make sure you have it righ ...

My K7 will turn on but the LCD screen and monitor won't turn on. The only thing that shows up on the LCD screen is the battery button. When I try to take a picture it makes a funny noise. I didn't drop my camera or anything and it worked perfectly yesterday. The only thing is that I did charge my battery overnight. It still turned on normally earlier in the day but then I didn't take any pictures (as my daughter wouldn't look) so I turned it off until a little bit ago when I turned it on and dis
